[/ul]**General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: **Obviously happy to get in. Planning on applying to Honors (not sure if I’m “invited” to do so, though). Essentially eliminates any chance of me going to PennState unless I get into Honors college at PennState and not at UMich. I’d say as an applicant, I was a little short on leadership/community service experiences but was buoyed by ACT score and musical accolades. No idea how my recommendations and essays were viewed.</p>
<p>why do they need to keep deferring? this is insane…
and i applied EA and got deferred back then, but someone from my school who did RD got in - whats the deal with the order in which they’re sending out letters?</p>
<p>My friend just found out she got accepted and she applied RD. Dammit, I want to know haha</p>

Don’t give up if you got deferred all of your hard work will eventually catch up to you! After 4 years of dreaming…all I can say is…GO BLUE!</p>
